Yeah, that was an interesting video, thanks for posting it.

Captaincrunch also identified what the obvious course of action should have been on the first page.

Unfortunately it is becoming increasingly difficult, almost impossible, to realistically believe the Israelis want peace, despite the extreme effort to build the opposite narrative.
